Ancient GreekChoreia

Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of how choreia was performed, represented, and conceptualized within archaic and classical Greece. It begins by discussing the term choreia and the various types and contexts of performance it could encompass. It then addresses the sociopolitical functions of choreia and its place within the polis, and finally turns to the Greek choral imaginary. This last section focuses on depictions of dolphin choruses in an attempt to access an audience's experience of choreia, and suggests that this always involved a combination of “real” and imaginary performances.
